In this heartwarming and hilarious episode, Gabby's emotional turmoil following a recent breakup becomes the central focus. Bobbie and Isabella, concerned for their friend, throw a "Ladies' Night" at the tavern to help Gabby realize that she doesn’t need a man to be happy. However, things quickly take an unexpected turn as their well-intentioned plan starts to backfire.
The episode opens with Gabby visibly distraught, having spent her morning crying in her car, listening to Adele, after yet another failed date. As her friends try to cheer her up, it becomes clear that her repeated heartbreaks have taken a toll. Bobbie and Isabella, feeling helpless, decide to encourage Gabby to get back into the dating scene—specifically through dating apps. Meanwhile, Emmett, Steve, and
Takoda joke around, poking fun at Gabby’s history of quirky and oddball dates (like the unicycle rider and the ventriloquist).
After Bobbie persuades Gabby to fill out a dating profile, the group gets involved in tweaking her answers, making light of her personal life, but their well-meaning advice only seems to frustrate her. Gabby reveals how much she’s been hurting and confesses that she feels like she’ll always be alone. In a moment of raw honesty, she admits that finding love is important to her and that her self-worth has been deeply affected by rejection.
Meanwhile, Bobbie, eager to help Gabby break free from her obsession with romance, organizes a "Ladies' Night" featuring successful, independent women who are happily single. The idea is to show Gabby that fulfillment doesn't come from a relationship. However, Gabby feels alienated at the event, where the women (who are successful and self-sufficient) seem to be subtly implying that she should stop worrying about finding a man. But when Gabby has a heart-to-heart with one of the women, she begins to see their point—that happiness doesn’t depend on having a partner.
But just when it looks like things are on the upswing, a big twist emerges: Gabby confesses that she’s thinking of having a baby—on her own. The group is initially shocked, but they rally behind her, offering emotional support. Despite the laughter and teasing throughout the episode, the moment is heartfelt and shows just how much Gabby’s friends care about her.
The episode ends on a high note with the group sharing a drink, having supported Gabby through her struggle with loneliness, self-esteem, and finding her way back to happiness. Gabby’s declaration that she wants to have a baby is met with love and respect from her friends, who promise to support her every step of the way (just, maybe not the really personal steps).
In the end, the message is clear: no matter where life takes them, Gabby and her friends know they can rely on each other for support, and that love—whether romantic or platonic—is what truly matters.
